The elevated metro

Two elevated decks on concrete piers at 17:28.93: a white-and-grey train on the narrow upper guideway, traffic on the wide road deck beside it, a billboard on the deck edge and another on a mast, the towers behind — Detail 2419 × 302 px

Two elevated decks on concrete piers in the Extended Look: a narrow guideway with a white-and-grey train on it and a wider road deck beside it, running towards the towers, and a second stretch of guideway downtown after dark.

The structure carries two levels. The narrower, higher one is a guideway with a white-and-grey car on it, rounded at the front with a dark window band: a metro train. The wider deck below and beside it is a road, with traffic and tail lights on it and green motorway signs over it further along. Both run on plain concrete piers towards the towers, behind trees, power poles and a small electrical substation in the foreground; the top of a white motor yacht shows at the bottom of the crop.

The piers here are bare concrete. The painted piers this page used to mention are in a different frame, in the mural district, and belong to that street rather than to this viaduct. On the edge of the road deck stands a billboard with three lines of pale letters on a light blue ground, a man at one side and a woman at the other; the letters are under this site’s floor and are not read here. A second billboard, purple, stands on a mast above the deck.

The Extended Look shows a second stretch downtown. At 20:32 the camera stands under a guideway curving between towers on a heavy concrete deck with ribbed panels along its underside, and a train of at least two cars runs along it in a dark livery painted with red and purple shapes, a different colour from the white-and-grey car in the first frame. Overhead a helicopter and a plane cross the dark sky, and a rainbow arc is lit on top of one of the towers. Below the deck, MEGAMUNDO is lit on a dark band across a lower block, and that name has its own page.

Public transport is not a given in the series. GTA IV had a citywide subway, and GTA V had Los Santos Transit’s light rail line. An elevated metro through the middle of the city is worth recording as a feature rather than as scenery.

How to recognise it

A narrow elevated guideway with a metro car on it
A wider road deck alongside, carrying traffic
Plain concrete piers, with trees, power poles and a small substation in front
Running towards the towers, with a billboard on the deck edge and a second on a mast
A curving guideway downtown at 20:32 with a train in a dark red-and-purple livery, a lit name on a lower block beneath it

The frame it comes from

The frame is Extended Look at 17:28.93. It is 3840 by 2160, and the subject occupies 2419 by 302 of it. Also in it: Crest Kayak, a motor yacht, and a water taxi.

These figures come from the dataset, not from the prose above. We measure everything and claim what counts. How we work

What we still do not know

Whether the metro is rideable
Whether it has stations you can enter
Where the line runs
Whether the guideway and the road deck belong to one structure or two that happen to run side by side
Whether the trains run in more than one livery, or the two frames show two different lines
